Dream ev'ry dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn TO the only friend you can find
There in your mind
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And we'd play
Counting the years
Keeping my dreams to myself
Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I could
Held my hand out, and I let her take me
Blind as a child
All I saw was the way that she made me smile
She made me smile
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And you'd stay
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go, and I know that you'll understand"
I understand
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today
Young child with dreams Dream ev'ry dream on your own When children play Seems like you end up alone Papa says he'd love to be with you If he had the time So you turn TO the only friend you can find There in your mind Shilo, when I was young I used to call you name When no one else would come Shilo, you always came And we'd play Counting the years Keeping my dreams to myself Young girl with fire Something said she understood I wanted to fly She made me feel like I could Held my hand out, and I let her take me Blind as a child All I saw was the way that she made me smile She made me smile Shilo, when I was young I used to call you name When no one else would come Shilo, you always came And you'd stay Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder She had other plans "Got to go, and I know that you'll understand" I understand Shilo, when I was young I used to call you name When no one else would come Shilo, you always came Come today Explain Request ×
